Enterprise Inns, the pub’s owners, have submitted a planning application to the City Council to construct a new terraced area on the 18th century building.
According to a City Council document, the proposal is: “Erection of a single storey extension to south west elevation, to include doors and a raised terraced area with railings, and alterations to ramped access to side, north east elevation.”
It was a popular gay bar until 2007 when it became a live music venue. A revamp for the building was confirmed in October 2010.
The pub also received approval in January 2011 for a planning application that will see large umbrellas installed in the garden area, as well as seeing the internal lounge area extended.
Once completed, the pub’s focus will be on serving food—but it’s unknown at this stage when the pub will reopen.
Along with the Ye Olde Crowne on Clasketgate, which is undergoing refurbishment, this is the second pub owned by Enterprise Inns in Lincoln that is currently looking for new management.
The only pub owned by the organisation that is still open in Lincoln is The Plough Boy, located on Burton Road.

A senior lecturer recently celebrated the news that East Midlands Railway will increase its train capacity on what he felt was an “overcrowded” service between Lincoln and Leicester.
Amir Badiee lives in Loughborough and for the past seven years has been commuting to his job at the University of Lincoln, but over the last two years he believes the train service has got worse. When he complained back in March he said he didn’t receive any response, but he believes his recent concerns aired in The Lincolnite helped to prompt a positive outcome.
Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
